Questions on programmes from Cork from the mid 1970’s to early 1980’s.
All relate to home programmes only.
I’d be very interested in swopping for or buying any that I need.
1) Cork Celtic 1973/74 (title winning season)
1a) Anyone know of any apart from v Waterford and v Shamrock Rovers?
1b) In particular did they issue v Limerick 16/12/73 or any in the first half of that season?
2) Cork Celtic 1975/76 – only one I’ve ever seen is v Cork Hibs 16/11/75 but mine has raffle number 1199 so plenty printed?? I’ve been assured none done for the George Best games and never seen anything for Limerick 14/12/75.
Apologies if I misled anybody in the past as I had assumed they didn’t issue that season. I only recently dated the Hibs issue having assumed it was from earlier in the decade.
2a) Any other known issues from 75/76 apart from Cork Hibs?
3) Cork Celtic 1977/78 –
3a) Anything for Limerick 28/8/77? Earliest I have is Shelbourne 11/9/77.
Issue v Cork Alberts 5/2/78 apologises for not producing a programme for “10 weeks or more”. I have checked with Dundalk collectors and none have the cup tie from 1/3/78. Again I’m told there was nothing for the Uwe Seeler game v Shamrock Rovers in April 1978.
3b) Is there a later issue than Bohemians 26/2/78? Possibly Celtic’s last ever issue
4) Cork Celtic 1978/79 – I attended Limerick definitely nothing done and pretty sure they didn’t issue that season at all. Anybody able to contradict that?
5) Albert Rovers 1976/77 -
All issues have the same editorial talking about this being their first issue and mentions game v Shamrock Rovers 3/10/76 so safe to say nothing done for that. Earliest I have is Athlone 12/12/76
5a) Did Albert Rovers issue earlier than 14/12/76 and in particular v Limerick 28/11/76?
6) Cork Alberts 1977/78
They seem to have been regular issuers that season for everything incl League Cup etc. However I’ve never seen any between Galway Rovers 15/1/78 and Sligo Rovers FAI Cup 12/3/78
6a) Anyone know for sure if they issued v Limerick on 5/3/78?
7) Cork Alberts 1978/79
They appear to have issued regularly although last I’ve seen is Athlone Town 25/2/79.
7a) Anybody know of a later Cork Alberts issue than Athlone 25/2/79? – Cork Celtic, Drogheda and St Pats are possible issues after that.
Cork United 1980/81
I’m pretty certain no issues for 1979/80 & 81/82 (definitely nothing for any Limerick league or LC game all of which I attended). Issues were done for Alex Ludzic and Michael Punch benefit games. They did not issue for Limerick 21/9/80 but did produce a number of issues that season. Earliest I’ve seen is Waterford 26/10/80 but the editorial gives no indication that it is a first issue. Possible first issues are Home Farm 5/10/80 or Sligo Rovers 19/10/80.
8a) Anybody know their first issue? Any earlier than Waterford 26/10/80?
8b) I’m assuming Thurles Town 15/3/81 was their last league issue. Can anybody contradict that?
9) Cork Hibs 1973/74-1975/76
9a) Did Cork Hibs issue after Banik Ostrava 1973?
